Does Richard have perfect pinch?

Not having to measure anything. I knew very little about tea before getting a job with two leaves and a bud, but it’s a steep learning curve. (Steep. Ha! But pun not intended.) One of the first items in the office I met was the little blue scale that we use to measure out loose tea. “Aim for about 2.5 grams per cup of tea,” Bess told me on my first day, putting a pinch of tea onto the scale. It turns out, each of our sachets contains about 2.5 grams of tea … Continue reading

A new world of tea to explore
If I asked you if you’d like a cup of tea, what kind would you want? In your head you’re going through all the varieties of tea you can think of, trying to make a decision. Maybe Earl Grey, Chamomile, some variety of green tea … But how about Lapsang Souchong? Or Pinhead Gunpowder? Or Silver Needles? Did you think of those? The world of tea is really, really large. Consider that at two leaves and a bud we have 16 different offerings of tea that come in sachets, but those barely scratch the surface of how many varieties of tea are out there. This is one reason why we recently started offering 15 new teas only in loose form, known as our “exclusively loose” line of teas. These are wildly different teas — from the polarizing smokiness of the … Continue reading
The art of gift giving
The gift-giving season isn’t the easiest time of year for many of us. It’s not full of “I found the perfect gift that will tell you just how much I love you” moments. Often times you experience more “I’m so stressed out; I hope you forgive me for this less than perfect gift” moments. (Unless you count the time I designed a beer stein for my dad’s homecrafted brew. That was perfect.) Richard, founder and owner of two leaves and a bud tea. co., passed out some small gifts to those of us who work in the office. We each got a tea sachet-holder, for lack of a better term, made by a local potter. Maybe Richard is sick of watching us over-steeping our tea at our desks, because we don’t have good places to put a used sachet that … Continue reading

There’s *what* in my tea?
You learn a lot about tea when you start a job at a tea company. In my first month here at two leaves and a bud, I’ve tried to pronounce “Tamayokucha,” learned that some chai teas really are better than others (but I’m not naming names), and been told more than once to refill the electric kettle. So then Bess mentions the new loose leaf tea we’re going to be carrying — plenty of different kinds, two of which are Genmai Matcha and Hoji Cha. Great, I think. Another couple of teas I can’t pronounce. But catching a glimpse of these varieties in little sample bags around the office, it’s clear there’s something really different about these two. Genmai Matcha, Japanese for “brown rice tea,” is exactly that: green tea combined with roasted brown rice. So, you’ve got your tea … Continue reading
